For parts is the z dimension the height? Because I looked at 1x1x5 brick and
the height is .8 cm. The actual height was entered as the y dimension.

Or is the z dimension the smallest? So that it can be used to determine whether
the item will fit in a thin envelope. In that case there are many entries that
need to be changed.

Before all the work of populating part dimensions i think we need to figure out
how it is going to be used.

Many of the currently entered Packing Dimensions were mass imported from LDraw
data when Instant Checkout was implemented in 2017. These measurements have no
user credit - that is how you can tell where they came from.

Things were done that way to get the system up and running quickly, but at this
point we need to refine the data. I am outlining the submission rules on the
Help page, but essentially what they say is this - for parts, use the stud dimensions
to determine the order of the fields. Where there are no stud dimensions, add
dimensions in whichever order you wish.

So please submit a correction to that data. It is very likely there is more wrong
than just the order of the fields.

Instant Checkout will work no matter what order the data is in, but when stud
and metric dimensions are listed together, it makes sense that the fields line
up.

The Z dimension should always mean height / thickness according to the rules
for stud dimensions.

Then why is the figure pic in DK OG? The set pic and box image also have it
as DK OG?

There are many official set images and box images that show things that were
never included in the sets, but our guideline is to *not* alter official set
images or box images. However, we can change the figure image. There just happens
to be another image attached to that figure that shows the correct hair, so we
will just remove the image with dark orange hair. The image for the figure with
cape is already correct, also.

Yay, this makes sense! You can always perform a calculation on the server side
to display stud dimensions. Entering a real unit of measurement on the user/data
entry side is a great improvement!

Just to note, you have snipped the image starting with the 2x4 brick but not
included its dimensions. I got confused with the first set of dimensions x, y
and z until I realised they are for the slope and not the brick.

Sorry about that. Here is another screenshot:

An observation, and not a criticism, the Z dimension (on the brick and the slope)
correctly includes the height of the stud on top, and because of that is not
directly convertible into brick heights (when measured in brick units). This
is because assembled bricks nest the stud within the bottom of the above brick.
And, as we all know, no one ever ships bricks assembled (but see below).

Which also, causes the rather oblique situation of hips/legs (which have studs
on top) and torsos, to not add up correctly in the Z direction, because of being
shipped individually.

Somewhere in all this (part II or part III ?) we need to address the issue I
pointed out a couple of weeks back about part-assemblies (e.g. wheels and tires)
and how they are measured for X+Y+Z and if assembling them is required.

Nita Rae

There is no relationship or dependency between the two types of dimensions
- stud and metric. I know in the past that stud dimensions were used to give
an estimate of actual metric size, but we don't want to do that now.

I will continue adding examples of how we want you to measure things for the
catalog. It's going to be a long Help page!

They were rejected because we do not accept stud dimensions on non-standard parts.
Especially now that we have actual metric values being added, there is no need
to find the stud dimensions for weird shapes.

In fact, we are considering hiding stud dimensions altogether, or moving them
to a separate info tab to keep people from being confused. Almost all pertinent
stud information is contained in the item name anyway.

Of course, it is a bit subjective whether a part is "weird" enough to not have
stud dimensions, but that is up to the catalog admin handling the request. Personally,
I would encourage you to spend 100% of your measurement submissions on actual
dimensions at this point, and not worry about the studs.

How will this be used? Will we be able to set up a shipping method that is only
allowed if all pieces are under a certain thickness? (i.i USPS large envelope/flat)

So the checkout would need to find the smallest of the three dimensions for each
element in the cart, and make sure it is below the threshold.

Or is it just to better approximate the total volume of the order?

It's already very much in use with Canadians sellers; it can jump from a
$1.94 stamp to $22 if the part is over 20mm in thickness. Canadian sellers have
been manually putting in the packaging dimensions for every oversized item (and
setting those items to Volume based).

What you do is set the packaging limits (if you have any for USPS) in the shipping
option like you mentioned, and it ensures that if there's a thickness maximum
(like the 20mm in Canada for Lettermail), that no part has any dimension that
goes over that. There's also general volumetric dimensions that you can set
where it's to try to calculate if "that much LEGO" can fit into what you
gave it, but I'm not entirely sure how well this part works.

So you have to exclude a part with any dimension over 20mm? That doesn't
seem like it would work very well. A 1x6x5 brick can easily fit but only one
of its dimensions is less than 20mm.

Believe it or not, the correct answer to this question also involves orientation
within the envelope when shipped. If you put solid bricks (or any part) in the
envelope with the wrong orientation, then it becomes what is known as a nonmachinable
letter. It all has to do with what USPS (and likely Canada Post) normally
expect letter mail to be subjected to when it goes through the processing equipment.
See this passage in Postal Explorer for a better detail of the requirements (DMM
101.1.2) …

https://pe.usps.com/text/DMM300/101.htm?q=diameter&h=diameter&t=H&s=R&p=1&c=DMM|QSG

There are even a few USB thumb drives that are thin enough to get thru letter
mail, but you need a thin cardboard frame to keep them oriented correctly.

Comments from Submitter:
I have an original figure, and I know what dark orange looks like.

But do you know what Dark Nougat looks like?

Yes I do.

This is the only hairpiece ever made in Dark Nougat (and is one of the only pieces
known to exist in Dark Nougat), and Dark Nougat is very similar to Dark Orange.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/14890173099/

And this set definitely came with that hairpiece in Dark Nougat. (The official
LEGO data for this set confirms this as it also says it came with Dark Nougat
hair.)

If your original figure came from a sealed set with *true* Dark Orange hair,
then another minifigure will need to be created instead of altering the inventory
of this one.

Cheers,
Randy

also just to add that within that same set it actually comes with Kenobi with
hair described as Dark Orange and then the Anakin hair is officially described
differently as:-

Color Orange-brown
Description Dark Nougat

I'm not sure why Lego use two colour references for that same part but its
certainly intended to be different to Dark Orange thats for sure

I just checked my fig and you are right, it's Dark Nougat.

Then why is the figure pic in DK OG? The set pic and box image also have it
as DK OG?
Any new sellers that sees that pic will think it is DK OG.

So now you will ask me to provide a new pic, with and without cape? I'll
try to get to it.

Thanks for the "schooling".

That's what I've been doing the whole time with the packaging dimensions.

They are actually still stored in the system as mm, but we didn't want the

Good progress. The big splash will be when we can search our inventory for pieces

In Catalog, Admin_Russell writes:

We are pleased to announce that a major new feature was deployed to the catalog
today - Packing Dimensions!

We started a Packaging Dimensions Topic in the Forum in the Fall of 2017 so that
members could input dimensions to help Instant Checkout work properly. It was
only supposed to be a temporary solution, and it took a lot of time and dedication
for both contributors and admins to handle each request manually.

Now there is much better way - just input the data like you would any other catalog
data. Notice the upgrade to the Change Item form:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=P

The first thing, though, that we want to tell you about this new feature is that
it's only a start. This is actually just phase 1 out of 3 phases. We did
it this way so we could get the basic functionality opened up as soon as possible.

This means that the Add Item form does not have Packing Dimensions input fields,
and we haven't touched the seller interface either which still shows millimeters
and only allows the upload of custom dimensions.

We are also a bit behind on the new Help Page:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2510

There are 4 areas we still need to tackle with the Help Page: Minifigures, Gear,
Books, and Catalogs. Those sections will be filled out over the next few days.
If you could please hold off on uploading dimensions for those Item Types until
the Help Pages are finished, it would be appreciated.

As you may have noticed, we changed the name from Packaging Dimensions to Packing
Dimensions. Let us know what you think and of course report any bugs. And there
is no need to post in the Packaging Dimensions Topic any more. We'll keep
it there for a while in case something happens to our new system, but when we
wrap up with phase 3, we will officially decommission that part of the Forum.

All, please note that the dimensions you fill in are CM (not MM), I now see very
large items coming up.
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=87079pb912#T=C&C=110

Is here anybody how can help me wit more information about these first Lego league
set 9781.
Its in the time period of the rcx and it was a set from around the year 2000.
The content was 726 pcs.
I have the cover of the green box but cant find anything about it.

We've had a set entry in the catalog for years that had no image:

9787-1 FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Challenge 2000 - Expansion Set
2000
Sets: FIRST LEGO League

I know the first FLL challenge (1998-2000) used Mindstorms, so my guess is that
our existing catalog entry contains a typographical error on the set number.

If you'd like, we can correct this using the photo you supplied.

THAT SOUNDS GREAT!
YOU CAB USE MY PICTURE AND CORRECT THE NUMBER

Comments from Submitter:
Sealed set, pic to follow. This correction is not really "correct". I guess the instructions are on the CD-Rom, but this inventory (and 3808 too, I'll bet) is way over on part count because the extras are not broken out.

According to the official LEGO data, here are the parts that are over by 1x in
the inventory and should be extras:

3713 Technic Bush
Parts: Technic {Black}

32062 Technic, Axle 2L Notched
Parts: Technic, Axle {Black}

6628 Technic, Pin with Friction Ridges and Tow Ball (Undetermined Type)
Parts: Technic, Pin {Black}

2780 Technic, Pin with Short Friction Ridges
Parts: Technic, Pin {Black}

32002 Technic, Pin 3/4
Parts: Technic, Pin {Dark Gray}

3713 Technic Bush
Parts: Technic {Light Gray}

4265c Technic Bush 1/2 Smooth
Parts: Technic {Light Gray}

4274 Technic, Pin 1/2 without Friction Ridges
Parts: Technic, Pin {Light Gray}

3673 Technic, Pin without Friction Ridges
Parts: Technic, Pin {Light Gray}

I am going to go through the instructions to see if it matches up.

I was able to verify according to the instructions that the parts listed above
are each over by one.

How many of each of the above did you get in your set?

I got the total amount expected of each of those. So 1 extra of each.

So you have to exclude a part with any dimension over 20mm? That doesn't
seem like it would work very well. A 1x6x5 brick can easily fit but only one
of its dimensions is less than 20mm.

Sorry that's my mistake in how I described it because I said any dimension
(and that's not accurate). I think it's oversized only on the triple
dimensions because like you said, a brick is flat and is over 2cm in two dimensions,
but not the 3rd ("height") so it fits. So for example, when I manually set packing
dimensions, I haven't even been bothering measuring the exact dimensions
since it's just for me (how it was currently), so I would set all 3 dimensions
to 25mm.

We are pleased to announce that a major new feature was deployed to the catalog
today - Packing Dimensions!

I love seeing these kinds of new features for sellers being implemented! Thank-you
so much!

A feature to add later which would be fantastic (which another site has been
doing) would be to have a direct link (probably on the "My BL" page), that takes
us to a list of all of our inventory that has missing packing dimensions. The
benefit is that you'll get the catalogue populated more quickly as sellers
will be directed to items that they know they have on hand as part of their inventory.
And then of course, perhaps a link in the Catalogue section to all parts missing
packing dimensions (for general catalogue contributors).

Ok I tested it for a bit. I added 20 things, bricks from disparate themes, even
a power transformator id 70928.
I think the new page is good. I can add stud- and packing-dimensions at the same
time. There is some error checking on our measures, preventing blunders. Zero
is allowed, we can use that with multiple meanings, better to give us guidance
maybe?

We disperately need the search engine now.
I spent hundreds of clicks just to find parts needing a caliper job. I won't
do that again (note: I'm not seller so can't fiddle with that famous

I will double check that for you also. But you might note that the 2004 and

set was built from the same 2004 set I bought to create the set listing in the

If you find any 2 x 4's in that shade of grey, let me know.

In Colors, gunga writes:

In a large box of loose LEGO, I came across several light gray pieces that I
can't identify the color of. They are from set 41154 and the only gray listed
in the inventory is LBG. The pieces in question are the 1x1 bricks as well as
the 1x2x5 bricks. For reference, the arch, 1x4, and 2x4 are light bluish gray.
The liftarm is very light bluish gray.

I know there is a variance in the light bluish gray, but this is a pretty dramatic
shade difference. And they ALL have the same shade, every 1x1 and 1x2x5. They
are LEGO pieces as I checked the studs and the logo is present.

Any ideas? Or have I overlooked something simple?

Normally I would agree with you about being a quality issue. There have been
some instances where it's almost impossible to tell a 'faded' LBG
from a old light gray.

But you can tell the color difference in these parts from 10 feet away in bad
light. Add in the fact that it's two different molds in the same set, and
they have the exact same color shade... maybe a wrong batch of color mixing in
the molding process?

I agree that it was probably a wrong batch of color mixing, but I would still
call this a quality issue - just a different kind of quality issue than the "normal"
color variation.

Btw. here is one more discussion about that:
https://www.bricklink.com/messageThread.asp?ID=262307&nID=1174163

Looks like about one year ago TLG was aware of the issue and added replacement
parts to some sets.

Comments from Submitter:
I have carefully studied the instructions for this set, and disassembled a built version, and believe that these are the correct quantities for these 2 pieces. Other websites (Brickset.com/Rebrickable.com/Peeron.com) also list these quantities, with the caveat that 1 of the originally 2 1x6 red plates may have been provided as an extra. I can't confirm that, but I can only find 1 in the instructions & build)

I've noticed this as well. There appears to be a shade between Light Bluish
Gray and the old Light Gray. It's clearly an "Off Color Gray" as I call
them, and know they are meant to be Light Bluish Gray because for some parts,
that's the only gray it was ever produced in. Sometimes I have a REALLY
hard time deciphering if a part is actually Light Gray or LBG. In that case,
I don't bother listing them for sale because they don't meet my personal
level of sale quality.

If they were in a large loose box are you sure they came from 41154? Were there
any older (light gray) pieces in the box? The previous owner may have been playing
and took it apart and put it back together with some older bricks.

However, the fact that it is only certain elements (and all of those elements)
leads me to believe it was a bad batch produced this way by LEGO. Since it is
a recent set I wouldn't expect any fading or discoloration this quickly.
